MOUNTAINEERING

DOUBLE SUMMIT ADVENTURE

Our first day takes us to the top of the Northern Drakensberg escarpment via the famous chain ladders. We set up camp on the Elands River bank with great views of the sun setting over the Maluti Mountains.
In the morning we tackle our first summit, Mont-Aux-Sources 3282m, the highest peak in the area. It's great hike after which, weather & time permitting we explore the Crows nest and Ribbon Falls area. That night camp's on the Mont-Aux-sources Plateau near the Tugela falls with lovely views of the Amphitheatre & the Sentinel.

Standing 3165m high, The Sentinel Peak, is the highest free standing peak in the Northern Drakensberg, South Africa. We scramble up steep grass covered scree slopes to the base of the rock pitches,

where we prepare for the climb. The two pitches are quite varied from one another, allowing climbers to experience different climbing techniques. The summit's reveals exhilerating views of the northern Drakensberg escarpment. After abseiling back down the rock face, we stop for a hikers lunch on our descent.We provide all the gear for the climb. The Sentinel offers climbing routes of various grades from those requiring only a good level of fitness to routes for experienced climbers.
